Nebraska Republican Congressman Jeff Fortenberry is a convicted liar who has now resigned. Good. But he has never been held accountable for abusing the power of his office to hunt down and threaten the jobs of people who criticized him with a joke. You might remember his Chief of Staff made national news for threatening a state university professor for LIKING a Facebook post of a sign calling him Fartenberry.
But what most people don’t know is how Fortenberry abused the power of his office to hunt down the people who put googly eyes on that sign. Fortenberry’s office got two Lincoln detectives assigned to lift fingerprints, get DNA samples and comb through cell phone calls like it was a murder case. Keep in mind this happened in a community with 1,000s of untested rape kits.
Later, when people put googly eyes and post it notes on the door of his office and the office of Sen. Deb Fischer, he again overreacted.
Fortenberry got the TV show CRIMEBUSTERS to ask the public to identify his critics!
Instead of laughing it off, Fortenberry and Sen Deb Fischer pursued a criminal case for property damages of one dollar! Sen. Deb Fischer . . . → Read More: Fortenberry, convicted liar and thin-skinned bully, resigns @spockosbrain
